guy less educated than the girl, what do u think -seriously date or not even

[joe45]

what do u girls think and would u date, consider a guy seriously if he had less education than you.
lets say you have university degree from ubc, sfu or whatever university(4 year degree) would you consider dating a guy seriously who only went to 2 years of langara, or a bcit graduated in the trades(welding, plumbing,...etc)
do you guys now of any couples like i jsut mentioned above. are they both asian, i thinking its rare.
what would your parents think of you dating a less educated guy? do they care that much. how important is the education of the guy ur with out of 10?have any of you girls dated less educated guys and if so why? lets say they also make less money than you too? why?
i knew a lot of girls ,but a lot of chinese canadized girls are more educated than me, not sure if i should even pursue and ask em out. i mean what for if you don;t have what they want. unless i lie to them, but if it gets serious then -ah they eventually find out. ah yea

would you be friends with any guys/girls who only have 2 years of post secondary education. would you date them? why or why not. comments have you dated any?

Holy moly...so many questions, jeez.

Would I consider dating a guy who had less education than me? If he only got his high school diploma (or not even)? No. If he was a garbage man or flipped burgers...no. For me, education is an important trait. I like a man who's going places. If he went to a two-year university...again, depends on what he did for a living. My parents would be really disappointed in me if I was in a relationship with a guy who didn't go to college of some sort.

As a general rule, I refuse to date anyone less intelligent than me. That's just the way it is for me.

The money issue doesn't bother me because I'm in college, not out in the "real world", so I can't speak about that issue as far as salaries are concerned. However, I'd imagine that if I were to get married, I'd want my husband to make enough money to support us should I have kids, health problems, etc...financial security.

As for me, my family is rich upper-middle class and my boyfriend's family is poor. They immigrated to the US from Vietnam. Although his family is poor, he is absolutely brilliant, attending college, and studying to be a lawyer. He'll be successful. And because of his poverty, he's responsible, mature, hard-working, goal-oriented, etc.

That's my take, hope that helps.

Erm, are you talking about education now, or INTELLIGENCE? The fact that someone (i.e. a girl) has more formal education than someone else (i.e. a man) doesn't make them more intelligent. They're different things.
